#DraculaHasRisen | Check out Dracula: The Blood Is the Life (s1 ep.1) via @hulu



Dracula arrives in London disguised as Alexander Grayson, a mysterious entrepreneur, determined to seek vengeance on his enemies, the Order Draco.
Season 1  Episode 1 | Aired on 10/25/2013 | TV-14 | 43:06


The third time is the charm! I had been meaning to read Bram Stoker's Dracula for years. I finally got it done this year during Bout of Books 7.0. Special thanks to Bite-Sized Dracula for prompting me.

I am excited that NBC's television adaptation has premiered. I have been circling the Dracula Twitter account for weeks. Golden Globe winner Jonathan Rhys Myers is playing America's most famous vampire. I loved him in The Tudors (see below).

Will you be watching Dracula this season? Have you read Bram Stoker's book?




This trailer had me all excited this summer... and I am not even into vampires.

$21.99 for Humorous Outdoor Survival Guide 2-Book Set (by Cody Lundin) via Groupon #Revolution

Right now, I am knee-deep in the television show Revolution. It keeps me thinking, "What would I do if the electricity stopped working?" I feel like my survival skills aren't what they need to be. I have forgotten all of my wilderness training from Girl Scout Camp.

I plan to start reading When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need To Survive When Disaster Strikes by Cody Lundin this week. I have got to get a better handle on this survival stuff. You know - in case all hell breaks loose. Or I am called to audition for Revolution.



I'll be talking about Revolution and survival-related stuff this week. I have posted the Revolution season one finale episode below - in case you haven't seen it.

Be sure to check out the Groupon deal below for Cody Lundin's two humorous outdoor survival guides. Cody is the co-host of the television series Dual Survival on the Discovery Channel.

If disaster strikes (and/or the electricity goes out), don't say that I didn't try to help you out. LOL!

Revolution: The Dark Tower


The struggle to turn on the power culminates in the explosive season one finale!

Season 1 | Episode 20 | Aired on 06/03/2013 | TV-14 | 43:15 | NBC

"Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why? Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down, the lanterns and candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it?" - Hulu

Are you watching Revolution? How do you like it?

$79.99 for Numb3rs Complete Series DVD Box Set - Groupon Online Deals

I have only seen a couple of episodes of Numb3rs, but I found the concept intriguing. I have added The Numbers Behind NUMB3RS: Solving Crime with Mathematics by Keith Devlin (the Math Guy on NPR's Weekend Edition with Scott Simon) and Gary Lorden (the principal math advisor to Numb3rs) to my to-be-read list.

My love of mathematics ended with long division so I was probably not destined to be a Charlie Eppes (Numb3rs' mathematical genius). I like statistics and enjoy crime television shows. An explanation of real-life mathematical techniques used by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies sounds intriguing.
Are you a fan of NUMB3RS?

I'm in the #Fraterfest Read-a-Thon. Are You? DAY 5

Caffeinated Book Reviewer


This is my start line for the Fraterfest Read-a-Thon (hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviewer). We'll be reading from the following: Rhiannon Frater books and/or books in one of these genres: paranormal, horror, mystery, suspense, zombie,vampire, shapeshifter, witch, dystopian, post-apocalyptic, ghost, etc.

My loose goals are to finish up the UNDEAD vampire series by MaryJanice Davidson, read Pretty When She Dies by Rhiannon Frater, participate in at least one challenge, and visit as many of the participants blogs as I can. I will be tweeting my progress using the official read-a-thon hashtag - #Fraterfest.

What are your plans?



October 7

I don't think that I will be able to visit other read-a-thon participants until Wednesday or Thursday. Real life is colliding with my reading life. Still reading though...


October 6

I finished Undead and Unsure. I finally found out what was going on with Jessica's babies. And it ended with an interesting twist. I still may stop reading the UNDEAD series with book 13.

I am starting on Zombie Bake-Off by Stephen Graham Jones. Have you read it?


 

How are you doing with your reading goals?

October 5

I am a little more than halfway through Undead and Unsure (#12) by MaryJanice Davidson. I think that I am over Betsy. The funny is starting to wear off of the flaky self-centered vampire queen. I may read one more UNDEAD novel and then I am going to walk away from this series. [I have similar feelings about the Stephanie Plum series.]

I checked out the other read-a-thon challenges. Seems like they are focused on books about witches.  I haven't read many books about witches. Must diversify. Must diversify.

I have decided to visit other read-a-thon participants on Monday.

October 4

Finally finished Undead and Underwater by MaryJanice Davidson. That book threw off my reading mojo big time. UGH! Usually, I am able to finish an UNDEAD audiobook in one or two days. I had been listening to Undead and Underwater since September 25. Fraterfest pushed me to finish it and move on. Thank goodness.

Now I am working on the Fraterfest Thirstbuster Challenge hosted by Chene at Mean Who You Are and listening to the audiobook of Undead and Unsure (#12) by MaryJanice Davidson.

What are you reading?



October 3

Right now, I am struggling through Undead and Underwater (#11.5) by MaryJanice Davidson. It is a book of three novellas. I am listening to the audiobook (and falling asleep).



I completed the Jigsaw Puzzle Challenge hosted by April at My Shelf Confessions.

We'll be reading from the following: Rhiannon Frater books and/or books in one of these genres: paranormal, horror, mystery, suspense, zombie,vampire, shapeshifter, witch, dystopian, post-apocalyptic, ghost, etc.

It's not too late to sign up and join in the fun.

My loose goals are to finish up the UNDEAD vampire series by MaryJanice Davidson, read Pretty When She Dies by Rhiannon Frater, participate in at least one challenge, and visit as many of the participants blogs as I can. I will be tweeting my progress using the official read-a-thon hashtag - #Fraterfest.

What are your plans?


October 5

I am a little more than halfway through Undead and Unsure (#12) by MaryJanice Davidson. I think that I am over Betsy. The funny is starting to wear off of the flaky self-centered vampire queen. I may read one more UNDEAD novel and then I am going to walk away from this series. [I have similar feelings about the Stephanie Plum series.]

I checked out the other read-a-thon challenges. Seems like they are focused on books about witches.  I haven't read many books about witches. Must diversify. Must diversify.

I have decided to visit other read-a-thon participants on Monday.

October 4

Finally finished Undead and Underwater by MaryJanice Davidson. That book threw off my reading mojo big time. UGH! Usually, I am able to finish an UNDEAD audiobook in one or two days. I had been listening to Undead and Underwater since September 25. Fraterfest pushed me to finish it and move on. Thank goodness.

Now I am working on the Fraterfest Thirstbuster Challenge hosted by Chene at Mean Who You Are and listening to the audiobook of Undead and Unsure (#12) by MaryJanice Davidson.

What are you reading?



October 3

Right now, I am struggling through Undead and Underwater (#11.5) by MaryJanice Davidson. It is a book of three novellas. I am listening to the audiobook (and falling asleep).



I completed the Jigsaw Puzzle Challenge hosted by April at My Shelf Confessions.
